WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Hubo un hombre en la tierra de Uz llamado Job. Aquel varón era intachable, recto, temeroso de ʼElohim y apartado del mal.
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Le nacieron siete hijos y tres hijas.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Su hacienda era: 6.000 ovejas, 3.000 camellos, 500 yuntas de bueyes, 500 asnas y muchísimos esclavos. Aquel varón era el más grande de todos los hombres del oriente.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
4 Sus hijos acostumbraban tener banquetes en la casa de cada uno en su día, e invitaban a sus tres hermanas para que comieran y bebieran con ellos.
4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Sucedía que cuando los días del festín terminaban su ciclo, Job mandaba [a buscarlos] y los purificaba. Se levantaba de madrugada y ofrecía holocaustos por ellos, conforme a su número, pues Job decía: Tal vez mis hijos pecaron contra ʼElohim y blasfemaron en su corazón. Job siempre hacía esto.
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
6 Entonces hubo un día cuando los hijos de ʼElohim llegaron a presentarse ante Yavé, y Satán también llegó entre ellos.
6 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan also came among them.
7 Yavé preguntó a Satán: ¿De dónde vienes? Y Satán respondió a Yavé: De rodear la tierra y andar por ella.
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
8 Y Yavé dijo a Satán: ¿No has considerado a mi esclavo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón intachable, recto, temeroso de ʼElohim y apartado del mal?
8 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
9 Entonces Satán respondió a Yavé: ¿Teme Job a ʼElohim sin interés?
9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 ¿No colocaste un cercado alrededor de él, su casa y todo cuanto posee? Porque has bendecido la obra de sus manos, y sus posesiones aumentaron en la tierra.
10 Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca todo lo que tiene y verás si no te maldice en tu propia Presencia.
11 But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
12 Entonces Yavé contestó a Satán: Mira, todo lo que tiene está en tu mano, solo que no pongas tu mano sobre él. Y Satán se retiró de la Presencia de Yavé.
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.
13 Llegó el día cuando sus hijos y sus hijas comían y bebían vino en casa del hermano primogénito,
13 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 y un mensajero llegó a Job y le dijo: Los bueyes araban y las asnas pastaban junto a ellos.
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 Los sabeos cayeron violentamente y se los llevaron. Mataron a los esclavos a filo de espada. Solo yo escapé para darte la noticia.
15 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Aún hablaba éste cuando otro llegó, quien dijo: ¡Fuego de ʼElohim cayó del cielo que quemó las ovejas y devoró a los esclavos! Solo yo escapé para darte la noticia.
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Éste aún hablaba cuando llegó otro, quien dijo: Los caldeos formaron tres cuadrillas. Se abalanzaron sobre los camellos y se los llevaron. Mataron a filo de espada a los esclavos, y solo yo escapé para darte la noticia.
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Aún hablaba éste cuando otro vino, quien dijo: Tus hijos y tus hijas comían y bebían vino en casa de su hermano primogénito,
18 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 cuando ciertamente llegó un remolino de viento del desierto que golpeó las cuatro esquinas de la casa, la cual cayó sobre los jóvenes, y murieron. Solo yo escapé para darte la noticia.
19 and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Entonces Job se levantó, rasgó su manto y se rapó la cabeza. Cayó a la tierra, adoró
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
21 y dijo: ¡Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre y desnudo me voy! ¡Yavé dio y Yavé quitó! ¡Bendito sea el Nombre de Yavé!
21 He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”
22 En todo esto Job no pecó ni atribuyó a ʼElohim algún despropósito.
22 In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

… and all who worship Thee when they hear these things shall say: "Blessed be the Lord in heaven and earth, great and wonderful is His name." Thy words had stuck fast into my breast, and I was hedged round about by Thee on every side. Of Thy eternal life I was now certain, although I had seen it "through a …

In this way Paul became clean; therefore also he said, "For if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged." Thus did Job cleanse his sons. For he that offered sacrifices for secret sins, much more did he require an account of such as were manifest.

… tried, but not overcome: "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; as it pleased the Lord, so has it come to pass: blessed be the name of the Lord." Like a good servant, Job counted the will of his Lord his great possession, by …

For he said, "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away; as it seemed good to the Lord, so is it done, blessed be the Name of the Lord." The fire of temptation approached him; but it found him gold, not stubble; it cleared away the dross from it, but did not reduce it to ashes.
